Think of the Sink!

What NOT to put down the sink…

  • Paint
  • Bleach
  • Oils & Fats
  • Chemicals
  • Food Waste

Paint

What can you do with these waste items instead?

  • Oils & Fats can be saved and rolled into bird seed mix to make fat balls
  • Food Waste should be put into your brown food recycling bin.
  • Some items can be put onto a compost heap – fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and teabags, crushed eggshells, nut shells, grains and bread. Meat and dairy foods are not suitable for compost.
  • Try non-harmful eco-friendly cleaning products instead of bleach. Some items in your cupboard can also be an alternative cleaning product – white vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda.
  • Check with your local recycling centre for details on paint or chemical disposal.
